More painful than surgery?..

Possibly.

So let us get right into the meat of this article about male liposuction costs - without delay.

After all, this is real money we're discussing here.

General Factors Affecting the Cost of Liposuction.

The size of the treatment area is an important factor affecting the cost of male liposuction.

It is important to note that this is also true for female patients as well.

Another important factor that affects the cost of both male and female liposuction, is the experience and expertise of the surgeon. Expect to pay a premium price for a well-known doctor with terrific qualifications and experience with your surgery.

It just makes sense.

Gender-specific factors influencing the cost of liposuction.

However the time that it takes to perform liposuction for men may take longer because some areas that men are concerned with have denser tissues that can take more effort to debulk and shape properly.

And the cost in time and effort may be passed along to the patient, in the form of slightly higher cost for the surgery.

The price range of liposuction for men?

Male liposuction costs can range from $5,000 to $12,000 (or more) – depending on factors discussed previously.

Is the Economy a factor in the Cost of Male liposuction?

This is a really good question.

At the time of this writing, the economy in early 2011 was on the mend but not quite out of the woods yet. However, there are some really good deals to be had out there in terms of plastic surgery – which is most often an elective surgery that isn’t paid for by insurance.

The bottom line is that - if you want a discount ask for one.

More these days people are willing to barter for skills, so be sure to mention that you do painting or have an autobody shop and would be willing to trade services with your surgeon. After all, the thought here is that your surgeon needs goods and services just like the rest of us.

So offer your expertise in exchange for theirs.

What is the take-home here?

The most important consideration when it comes to plastic surgery is the qualification and skill-level of your surgeon.

Cost, in my humble opinion, is not even a distant second.

After taking the time and effort to select, interview and decide on your surgeon – you may in fact feel that he or she is worth the price they are asking...

.. even if it is more than you initially wanted to pay.
